"May I get the sardines (можно я достану сардин = схожу за сардинами)? I know where I can get four baits too (я также знаю, где я могу достать четыре наживки)."

"I have mine left from today (у меня есть свои, оставшиеся сегодня). I put them in salt in the box (я положил их в соль в коробку = в коробку с солью)."

"Let me get four fresh ones (давай я принесу четыре свежих /наживки/)."

"One (одну)," the old man said. His hope and his confidence had never gone (его надежда и уверенность никогда не уходили = не пропадали). But now they were freshening as when the breeze rises (но теперь они возрождались: «освежались», словно подул свежий ветер /с моря/).

bait [beIt], salt [sLlt], breeze [brJz]

"May I get the sardines? I know where I can get four baits too."

"Let me get four fresh ones."

"One," the old man said. His hope and his confidence had never gone. But now they were freshening as when the breeze rises.

"Two," the boy said.

"Two," the old man agreed (согласился старик). "You didn't steal them (ты не украл их)?"

"I would (я бы украл)," the boy said. "But I bought these (но этих купил)."

"Thank you," the old man said. He was too simple to wonder when he had attained humility (он был слишком прост, чтобы размышлять, когда он приобрел смирение; to wonder — удивляться, размышлять, задаваться вопросом; to attain — достигать). But he knew he had attained it (но он знал, что приобрел его) and he knew it was not disgraceful (и он знал, что это не было позорным) and it carried no loss of true pride (и не несло никакой потери истинной гордости)."Tomorrow is going to be a good day with this current (завтра будет хороший день с таким течением)," he said.

wonder ['wAndq], attain [q'teIn], humility [hjH'mIlItI]

"Where are you going (куда ты пойдешь /ловить/)?" the boy asked.

"Far out to come in when the wind shifts (далеко, а вернусь, когда переменится ветер). I want to be out before it is light (я хочу выйти засветло: «перед тем, как будет светло»)."

"I'll try to get him to work far out (я попробую уговорить его поработать подальше)," the boy said. "Then if you hook something truly big (тогда, если ты поймаешь: «зацепишь» что-нибудь действительно большое) we can come to your aid (мы смогли бы прийти к тебе на помощь)."

"Where are you going?" the boy asked.

"Far out to come in when the wind shifts. I want to be out before it is light."

"I'll try to get him to work far out," the boy said. "Then if you hook something truly big we can come to your aid."
